WARD Open Letter to the Citizens March 11,1970 The Mayor and members of City Council have re ceived numerous complaints from concerned citizens with regard to children using BB and pellet guns indis criminately within the city limits. We would therefore remind parents that they would be held liable for any injury to a citizen or damage to personal property; and we would encourage parents to caution their children in safe practices and use of these guns. Failure to comply with this request would most likely result in passage of an ordinance prohibiting the use of these guns in the City. Your cooperation and assistance in complying with this request will be greatly appreciated. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
